Go to Teen Ink and read a few memoirs (new ones are posted every day). Choose one that you really like, and write a review of the memoir.

Please name your document: # name memoir review Blue

Your review should include:

  • The title and author of the memoir
  • A brief synopsis (summary) of what the memoir is about
  • A description of the elements of craft used by the author (simile, metaphor, alliteration, personification, etc)
  • A description of the sensory details used by author
  • End with a few sentences about why you liked it and why you think other people should read it, comparing it to another author's work with which you are familiar. (For example: If you love the Dragonspell books, you'll love this memoir because the author uses a similar fast-paced style of writing and thought-provoking metaphors.)
